Abstract
A fence bracing system utilizes an elongated lower rail having a base rail component and an elongated upper rail component having a top rail. Each of the components house an X brace extending the length of the components. The X braces have an inner “X” shaped supporting member framed by an upper flat supporting rib member and a lower flat supporting rib member. The supporting members extend the length of the lower and upper rails.
Claims8
A rail for vertical fencing, said rail comprising:
- an elongated base rail component;
- lateral side walls extending up from the base rail component and extending the length of the base rail component;
- an elongated space formed between the side walls, the space extending the length of the base rail component;
- an X brace, integrally formed with the base rail component, located within and extending the length of the elongated space, said “X-” X brace comprising an inner X “X” shaped supporting member having multiple diagonally extending crisscrossing brace elements, each brace element emanating from a corner of the elongated space such that the brace elements meet to form a continuous, uninterrupted “X” shape, the “X” shaped supporting member being framed by an upper flat supporting rib member and a lower flat supporting rib member;
- an upper elongated space located over the upper supporting rib member;
- a lower elongated space located beneath the lower supporting rib member;
- and
- an elongated channel member located above the upper elongated space defining a channel space above the upper elongated space.
